To fix the sharp points, go to the material. select anywhere in the main graph OFF a nod (to select the main material settings where you found Enable Tessellation) and search for Displacement. Change the Magnitude to a lower setting besides 4. 1 worked for me.

This is pure gold! Thank you so much!!

[Gotitmade]

Love it! So concise. And cool voice too!

[neilhilken]

Thank you for the detailed walkthrough, this is really helpful!

[tamseelalvi]

Great video. Pretty difficult to maintain good pacing in such videos without making them boring. Great to see you explain why you were doing what you were doing.

Easily the best UE5 tutorials I've watched! Thanks brother

[mmertduman]

How did I not find this channel before? Your content is great! This is what a tutorial should be like.

[stevenchan]

Thanks for the teaching, there is a little problem I came to, there are few something like small gravels when I move close to the ground after nanite was actived.

[boris_indrikov]

Wow! This is a very useful great tutorial! Thank you🙏😊

[play-good]

simple and straightforward
Thx u so much bro😍
But i have a simple question
What About Performance using texture driven Tessellation

[Leo]

hey i used this technique to make the landscape, whenever i zoom into the landscape the nanite breaks when the camera angle is parallel to the surface of the landscape, or when the camera is close up to the surface, is this a nanite/tessellation bug or is there something im doing wrong with the landscape?

[MrLarsalexander]

Have you/anyone ever tested to use landmass with blueprint brushes to create biome areas with the textures you would have used as a landscape material layer to actually get collision on the displaced surface?

Like if you want a crater like this, you would add it to the landscape using the landmass brush blueprint, and also make the height map in Gaia with tiny detail displacement by using the textures in gaia/world creator to be able to add the displacement masks to the actual height map?

[aakhn]

To the point and Informative. Good content!

[chingizzhumagaliyev]

Hey PPL! Don't forget to change the magnitude. It might break the visuals for you.

[PolyRidge]

fantastic, again, your break downs are amazing, thank you so much!!!

[mclothmann]

so before 8:04 everything works for me, but after I add the tire material and landscapelayer blend node the landscape just turns white (instead of black) it only seems to happen with the blend node included, if I just route dirctly from blend material atributes to m_landscape / Material Atributes node it works fine? Very lost with this one lol

[LAZAREV_D]

Is it possible to animate the texture of wheel tracks so that it appears behind the movement of the car? For a sequencer, not for game logic

[ElysiumD_]

Great until the car has to make a turn

[satishpillaigamedev]

hi im not seeeing tessellation in material properties any idea why ?
